<pclass="copyright">Inspired by <em>His Dark Materials</em> by Philip Pullman. This is a fan-made quiz, not affiliated with any official production.</p>
lion:{form:"Lion",icon:"\u{1F981}",desc:"In His Dark Materials, only the most powerful spirits take this form. Iorek Byrnison, the greatest armoured bear, transforms into a lion — the form of ultimate authority.\nYou possess untamed strength and natural leadership. You are fiercely loyal to those you love and will protect them with everything you have. You feel most alive in the moment, embracing risk and living without regrets."},
eagle:{form:"Eagle",icon:"\u{1F985}",desc:"An eagle daemon belongs to one with a rare and soaring spirit. Billy the Eagle is one of only two daemons in bird form, and his bond with Roger is among the most devastating in all of His Dark Materials.\nYou see the world from a height others cannot reach. You notice patterns others miss and hold wisdom that comes from looking deeper. You value freedom above comfort and truth above lies."},
panther:{form:"Black Panther",icon:"\u{1F406}",desc:"Will Parry's daemon, Kirjnus, takes this form. Black panthers guard those who walk between shadows and light.\nYou are quietly powerful — not loud about your strength, but undeniable. You adapt to chaos and keep composure where others break. There is a mystery about you that others feel but cannot name. You trust only what you have seen with your own eyes."},
owl:{form:"Owl",icon:"\u{1F989}",desc:"The owl is a creature of the night, watching when others sleep. Birds as daemons are rare, and the owl among the rarest — a sign of one who carries ancient wisdom.\nYou are patient, observant, and never rush to judgment. Knowledge is power to you, and you seek to understand the world before acting upon it. Trust comes slowly from you, but when given, it is absolute."},
wolf:{form:"Wolf",icon:"\u{1F43A}",desc:"The wolf is the daemon of fierce loyalty and untamed grace. In the world of daemons it is a respected and ancient form, carrying the wildness of the northern wastes.\nYou are at your strongest beside the ones you love. You feel a deep, wordless bond with those who matter to you, and you would move mountains to keep them safe. There is a wildness in you that no discipline can tame — and no one should try."},
fox:{form:"Fox",icon:"\u{1F98A}",desc:"The fox is the daemon of the clever. Quick, adaptable, always one step ahead, a fox daemon belongs to those who navigate the world with intelligence and grace.\nYou are a survivor in the best sense — you observe, adapt, and find creative solutions where others see only walls. You value freedom and have deep respect for those who think for themselves."},
badger:{form:"Badger",icon:"\u{1F9A1}",desc:"John Faa's daemon, Stelmarra, is a badger. John is loyal, determined, and fiercely independent — and so is his daemon.\nYour strength is quiet resilience. You are self-reliant and deeply loyal, though you may struggle to ask for help. You carve your own path through the world with steady, unstoppable determination."},
snake:{form:"Snake",icon:"\u{1F40D}",desc:"In His Dark Materials, the snake is the daemon of metamorphosis. It sheds its skin and becomes something new — a sign of profound transformation.\nYou are in constant evolution, never the same person from one season to the next. You are comfortable with change because you ARE change. Those who know you see growth where others see instability."},
cat:{form:"Cat",icon:"\u{1F431}",desc:"The cat is an old and gentle daemon form. Squirrel, Lyra's daemon, begins shapeless before settling as a puss-cat named Panser. Cats are gentle creatures with deep inner strength.\nYou have a gentle heart with quiet fortitude. You are empathic and protective of those who matter to you, moving through the world with grace others may not consciously notice but always feel."},
dolphin:{form:"Dolphin",icon:"\u{1F42C}",desc:"Water daemons are uncommon. The dolphin carries the spirit of intelligence woven through joy — perceptive, free, and deeply connected to those around it.\nYou navigate life with fluidity and warmth. You connect deeply with others and have an uncanny ability to read the waters of a room. You bring light wherever you go, and your intelligence shines brightest when paired with compassion."},
spider:{form:"Spider",icon:"\u{1F577}\uFE0F",desc:"The spider is a rare and ancient daemon form. In the lore of the world, insects are uncommon daemons, but the spider is revered for its patience and the intricate webs of connection it spins.\nYou are methodical and perceptive, noticing threads others miss. You weave connections between people, ideas, and places that no one else can see. Your patience is your greatest weapon — you wait, and when you move, everything shifts."},
tiger:{form:"Tiger",icon:"\u{1F40F}",desc:"The tiger is beauty edged with danger — a daemon form that carries power without ever needing to announce it. Like the lion but solitary, moving through tall grass where others walk in open fields.\nYour strength is hidden in plain sight. You are elegant and intense, capable of great gentleness and great ferocity, often without warning. Those closest to you learn to respect the quiet moments — they are calm before power."},
stag:{form:"Stag",icon:"\u{1F986}",desc:"The stag carries an old nobility. Its horns are not merely for showing — they mark wisdom earned through seasons and journeys. As a daemon form it speaks of quiet majesty.\nThere is a natural dignity about you that draws others in. You lead not by demanding but by being. Beneath the calm exterior runs a deep and protective fire — you would stand for those who cannot stand for themselves."},
bear:{form:"Bear",icon:"\u{1F43B}",desc:"The bear is raw power from the earth and the tundra. Iorek Byrnison himself — armoured, legendary, patient — walks most of his life in bear form, saving the lion for only the deepest moments.\nYou are grounded, enduring, and quietly mighty. There is a hibernation to you: you can withdraw, gather strength, and then emerge with force that reshapes the landscape. You honour the old ways and the truths that do not change."}
